Principality of Zeon
The Principality of Zeon is a nation in the Universal Century Gundam universe which serves as the Primary Antagonists through the series.
History
Around 2080 (common era), Humanity began moving its population off of earth into a large number of O'neill Cylinder space colonies at various Lagrange Points under the Aegis of the Earth Federation. Eventually an ideology arose among some of the colonies calling for independence of colonies, with each Lagrange point becoming an independent state, an ideology exposed by Zeon Zum Deikun. This led to the creation of the Side 3 Zeon Republic in 0058UC, which lobbied for independence. The Republic was prevented from achieving independence due to economic reasons until 0068UC after Diekum's death (possibly by assassination). After which control of the republic was assumed by Degwin Sodo Zabi, who began a military buildup for an eventual declaration of independence.
Territory
The Principality of Zeon was based at the Side 3 Lagrange Point and had a population of about 400 million, this was reduced to 200 Million in the nuclear exchanges in the opening stages of the war.
